Description 190-199
The landscape of higher education is undergoing continuous transformation, with library facilities playing a pivotal role
in shaping student experiences and academic success. This study explores student satisfaction with both physical and digital
library facilities within diverse higher education institutions, employing the Information Systems Success Model as a
theoretical framework. While physical libraries offer curated collections and personalized services, digital libraries provide
unparalleled convenience and accessibility. However, the satisfaction derived from each format differs, with physical
libraries emphasizing service quality and collection relevance, and digital libraries prioritizing information quality aligned
with the curriculum. Notably, the size of digital collections doesn't guarantee higher satisfaction, highlighting the importance
of relevance. Perceived usefulness significantly influences satisfaction with digital libraries. To enhance user satisfaction,
libraries should invest in user-friendly services, continuously curate collections, prioritize digital information quality, adapt
to trends, and actively use feedback for improvement. This study underscores the imperative for libraries to evolve in
tandem with changing student needs and preferences to optimize their role in supporting academic endeavours.
